<p>[QUOTE="rknarr2, post: 1083225, member: 9614"]Thank you for the information and the leads. One thing I forgot to mention about those bronze cannons from the civil war is they were painted white maybe to disguise that they were made of bronze. Well, my dad, mom, a couple others and myself went and painted those cannons with water based house paint and we heard from another member that the paint had peeled and they looked awful. However, my dad would not go back and prep and repaint them using I suppose paint that would stick to bronze. </p><p>Also, I found a picture with other suv officers, where he was presented with the medallions and I also found a couple certificates that he received from the SUV which explains why he received them as well as a book called the Ashes of Roses and War.
